Do Pointseta plants live all year round?
Yes, they’re alive all year, but they do go through a cycle of growth… then rest. In late December, or when the leaves begin to drop, get the plant ready for a dormant (resting) period. Decrease the watering & when the leaves drop… cut the stems back to about two or three growth buds or “eyes”. Store the poinsettia plant in a cool place like a basement. In late spring when the danger of frost is over bring your poinsettia out of its dormancy by watering deeply & plant in a bright, sunny place outdoors –Or– repot it using fresh soil, water it, & put it on a patio or protected spot. Trim new shoots sprouting from the stems to only three or four shoots. Give the plant a little fertilizer two or three times a year during its growing season. http://plantsbulbs.suite101.com/article.… If you live in a cold area, don’t forget to bring them indoors in the fall before it frosts.
